Abstract
This paper describes a course in concurrent and distributed computing for high school students and empirical research that was done to study students' conceptions and attitudes. We found that both their conceptions and their work methods evolved during course to the point that they were able to successfully develop algorithms and to prove their correctness. Students initially found the course extremely challenging but eventual came to appreciate its relevance and its contribution to improving their cognitive skills.
